Acute Lupus Pneumotitis as a Complication of Pregnancy: A Case Report
Full text linkSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that is chronic in nature and has considerable clinical heterogeneity. Acute Lupus Pneumonitis (ALP) is one of its many presentations. We report the case of a 29-year-old, primigravida patient at 30 weeks of gestation presenting with progressive dyspnoea, phlegmatic cough lasting three weeks and morning fever. On physical examination, there was a stabilized alert patient with normal vital signs. Examination by auscultation of thorax revealed slight subcostal retraction and other rhonchi and wheezing. Cephalic foetal presentation was present in the abdomen and abdominal ultrasound was reported normal. Investigations in the laboratory showed thrombocytopenia, over iron-deficiency anaemia, and systemic inflammatory factors. The presence of demonstrable anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies provided support to the diagnosis of pregnancy-related suspicious SLE bronchopneumonia. A restrictive diet was established, which included ceftriaxone once per day, Methylprednisolone between two times per day, Nebulised salbutamol between three times per day, N-Acetyl cysteine between three times per day, hydroquinone once per day, aspartilet once a day, and vitamin D once a day. The patient was discharged four days after therapy after clinical improvement was noted. After two months, she gave birth to clinically healthy infant via caesarean section, due to breech presentation and placenta previa as well as the persistence of SLE with the risk of lupus flare. ALP is a dangerous pulmonary SLE process. Here, the positive anti-SSA and anti-SSB were especially worrying considering that such antibodies are linked to very severe maternal and foetal complications

Simulation of Harmonic Impact on Household Electrical Installations Due to the Use of Modern Electronic Equipment
Full text linkThe advancement of digital technology has led to increased usage of modern electronic devices in households such as LED televisions, inverter air conditioners, and SMPS-based chargers which are technically classified as non-linear loads. These loads generate harmonics, i.e., waveform distortions of current and voltage due to frequency components other than 50 Hz, which degrade power quality. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and impact of harmonics on household electrical installations and to evaluate the effectiveness of harmonic filters in reducing such distortions. The methodology includes literature review and simulation of a 220 V single-phase residential power system using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulations were conducted under three conditions: linear load usage, non-linear load without filter, and non-linear load with passive LC harmonic filter. Results show that the Total Harmonic Distortion of current (THDi) significantly increased from approximately 0.5% under linear load to 60–70% under non-linear load without filtering, and then dropped to 22–28% with the implementation of LC filter. Power factor also improved from 0.77 to 0.93. The simulation confirms that harmonics severely affect energy efficiency and system stability, and that applying harmonic filters can be an effective mitigation strategy for modern household electrical systems
